Ziggy Ansah to visit Eagles

The Eagles hold the N0. 4 overall pick in April’s draft. Ansah figures a defensive end in a 4-3 front and an outside linebacker in 3-4 scheme; the Eagles are reportedly expected to employ 3-4 looks this season.

USA Today also reported that there was some speculation at BYU’s Pro Day Thursday that Ansah might be older than his listed 23 years old. However, USA Today reported that the birth date on his Ghana-issued passport, viewed by the publication, is May 29, 1989.

But, was there a birth certificate? By the time he applied for a passport, he and his advisor had already spoken about the possibility of playing for a scholarship or professional sports in America. Obviously, either of those possibilities would be enhanced by lopping a couple of years off his age.
